Is it bad that I kinda hate that there is a lineup of bone stock mavericks that are nothing special. I don't want to bar anyone from coming to a show, but buying a brand new car and being in massive debt doesn't make you a car guy :facepalm: or make your car interesting

Yeah I don’t get it, they may as well have a group of Ford Escapes.

I really don’t get the hubbub over the maverick in the first place, as a cheap efficient pickup I can see the appeal of buying one but the dealer markups they’ve had totally defeats the purpose.

it depends, here they are at dealers for 40,000 to 50,000 dollars cad (and sometimes even more) which to me is super expensive for what it is, and I personally don't think most people can afford that without an unreasonable loan amount. I guess that's my frame of reference anyhow.

Cost / Value is one thing. Affordability is another. I don't know .. we all have different references for what is considered expensive.

bird sitting in the parking lot at work. I need to adjust my headlights and i think the header panel itself because the passenger corner housing stick out a bit.

If they're aftermarket corners it might just be how they are. I had to slot the holes in my header panel to get mine to fit satisfactorally

Looks great!

Yeah i ended up with some doormans because one of the oem housings were cracked. Aside from them having the crappy rubber seal and being somewhat off they do look decent. Still wish i had some clears but more worried about other stuff in the short term.

You can swap over the old seals if you still have them(you’ll need to glue them in place obviously). I’ve had to do that with all the aftermarket corners but the depo clears I had.

It is getting hard to find quality steering/suspension components. Years ago a lot of Moog was made in USA. Then they came out with their "R" line of parts which were a lower cost alternative. Then at some point they stopped making most of the "K" parts and most of the parts they have available are only the "R" parts. Sad.
 
Man, that's so awesome. I'd love to go out with mine one of these years.

The driver's side corner light on the '97 sticks out a bit too. I just went with Dorman for those since I couldn't find OEM corners. I just live with it. It isn't blatantly obvious unless you look at it from the right angle.

Ok so maybe I don’t have the natural talent for welding I assumed I had 😆

It's much easier when you're watching somebody else on YouTube. 😉

That's where you make your heat adjustment ( amps ) .. dial it in. 😆 you want deep enough penetration without blowing through.

Now get off the internet and get back under your hood.

Which hood? lol

Most of what is on that scrap pipe is me dialing it in, I think some of my troubles are the stainless wire, it wants WAY more voltage and wire speed than the chart thingy calls for and pretty much all the tutorials I watched were using mild steel. Yes I’m blaming the equipment lol

These are my attempts at butt welds. They’re hideous but they’ve actually got good penetration.

The tack welds I made to the V band sleeve actually turned out pretty good, I think

I've been under my 35th numerous times since I've owned it, and today is the 1st time I saw this...a build date tag on the gas tank crossover vent. I know it isn't on my 92 or 95.

Interesting!
I was actually looking for a crossover when I did my rear underbody inspection several weeks ago, but couldn't see one; I assumed it was hidden somehow. Now I want to go down there again.
